Courthouse Hotel: Beer Garden and Pub Bistro, Newtown (26 Sept 2010)

On a sunny day this locals pub is bound to be buzzing in the beer garden. All walks of life come to this watering hole which has a fairly reasonably priced bistro. Jugs of your favourite tap beer will fill 3 schooners and during the week there's special for only $10 of Coopers and Bulmers — check out the What's On board. I love the fun hand cut posters located around the beer garden of how to behave. Fairly standard wedges and nachos were OK as a stomach filler but nothing particularly special. Pick a nice day, head there early and grab a spot and soak up the very local Newtown atmosphere.

hi anonymous, that's very disappointing to hear that the Long Island Iced Tea jug is on the weak side. it should be the strongest thing on the menu — but i guess if it was then everyone would be on the floor. :-)
